TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

The present disclosure relates to a pixel circuit, a display panel and adisplay apparatus.

BACKGROUND

With the rapid development of display technologies, display apparatuseswith touch function are becoming more and more popular due to theiradvantages such as visualized operation. According to different relativepositions of the touch screen panel relative to the display panel,existing display apparatuses with touch function can be generallyclassified into two categories, the on cell touch screen panel and thein cell touch screen panel. Compared with the on cell touch screenpanel, the in cell touch screen panel has smaller thickness and higherlight transmittance.

As for existing display apparatuses, the OLED (Organic Light EmittingDiode) as a current type light emitting device is more and more appliedto high performance display areas due to its characteristics such asself light emitting, fast response, wide angle of view and ability ofbeing fabricated on a flexible substrate. According to different drivingmanners, OLED display apparatuses can be classified into two categories,the PMOLED (Passive Matrix Driving OLED) and the AMOLED (Active MatrixDriving OLED). The AMOLED display is expected to become the nextgeneration new flat display in place of the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)due to its advantages such as low fabrication cost, high response speed,low power consumption, DC driving applicable to portable devices, largeoperating temperature range. In existing AMOLED display panels, eachOLED is driven to emit light by a pixel driving circuit composed ofmultiple TFT (Thin Film Transistor) switches within one pixel unit onthe array substrate to realize display. The pixel driving circuitdirectly determines the quality of the light emitting display of theOLED. Therefore, the design of the pixel driving circuit is keytechnological content of the AMOLED.

On the other hand, the in cell TSP (Touch Screen Panel) fabricates asensor for touch and a driving circuit in each pixel unit on the arraysubstrate by the array process as well. If the sensor and the drivingcircuit of TSP are superimposed in an AMOLED pixel unit, it is necessaryto add a certain number of driving circuit TFTs. Therefore, certainspace of the pixel unit needs to be occupied additionally, but the freespace in the pixel unit is limited. This dramatically limits thesimultaneous fabrication of the in cell touch screen panel circuit andthe AMOLED driving circuit.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In the following, specific implementations of the present disclosure arefurther described in connection with figures and embodiments. Thefollowing embodiments are only for more clearly illustrating thetechnical solutions of the present disclosure, but not for limiting theprotection scope of the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 1, the pixel driving circuit comprisesa switch TFT T1, a driving TFT T2 and a storage capacitor C, and T1 andT2 here are both P-channel driving TFTs. A gate of T1 is connected to ascan line Scan[1], a source of T1 is connected to a data voltage lineVdata, and a drain of T1 is connected to terminal B of the capacitor C.Terminal A of C is connected to a drain of T2. Terminal B of C is alsoconnected to a gate of T2, a source of T2 is connected to an operatingvoltage Vdd, and a drain of T2 is connected to a corresponding OLED.When Scan[1] scans to a row of pixel circuit to be at a low voltagelevel, T1 is controlled to turn on, and the data voltage Vdd is writtento terminal B. When the scan of this row is over, Scan[1] becomes a highvoltage level, and T1 is turned off. The data voltage stored in C drivesT2 to make it generate current to drive the OLED to ensure that the OLEDkeeps emitting light within the time of one frame. The saturationcurrent of T2 (i.e., the current following through the OLED)IOLED=K(VGS−Vth)2, where K is a current constant related to T2, VGS isvoltage of the gate relative to the source of T2, and Vth is a thresholdvoltage of T2. It can be seen that IOLED is related to the thresholdvoltage Vth of T2. In addition, due to fabrication process, device agingand so on, in such a 2T1C pixel driving circuit, the threshold voltageVth of the driving TFTs at each pixel point would drift, that is, thethreshold voltages of the driving TFTs at different pixel points are notuniform, which is easy to make the current flowing through the OLED ateach pixel point varies with Vth, such that the display brightness ofthe display screen is not uniform, influencing the display effect of thewhole picture.

As such, itis possible to reduce the number of signal lines, such that the pitch ofpixels is dramatically reduced and IC cost is decreased, achievinghigher pixel density. At the same time, the operating current flowingthrough the electroluminescent unit is not influenced by the thresholdvoltage of the corresponding driving transistor, solving thenonuniformity in brightness of display caused by threshold voltage driftof driving transistors.

Here, the second operating voltage Vint is used to provide drivingpulses.

For example, the light emitting module 200 can comprise anelectroluminescent element whose anode is connected to the outputterminal of the pixel driving unit DT1 in the pixel compensation moduleand whose cathode is grounded.

In embodiments of the present disclosure, the electroluminescent elementcan be various normal current driving light emitting devices includingLED (Light Emitting Diode) or OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode). Inembodiments of the present disclosure, OLED is taken as an example fordescription.

Further, respective switch units and driving units are TFTs.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2a-2c , each TFT is of P channel type. Now,the input terminal of the driving unit is a source of a TFT, the outputterminal of the driving unit is a drain of the TFT and the controlterminal of the driving unit is a gate of the TFT. For each switch unit,the control terminal is also a gate of a TFT, and the first terminal andthe second terminal correspond to a source and a drain of the TFTrespectively.

Using the same type of transistors can realize unification of processprocedures so as to improve the yield of the products. It can beunderstood by those skilled in the art that the types of the transistorscan be not completely the same in practical applications. For example,T2 and T7 can be N channel type transistors, and T3 and T4 can be Pchannel type transistors. As long as two switch units whose controlterminals are connected to the same scan signal line can have the sameON/OFF state, the technical solutions provided in the presentapplication can be realized. The implementations described in thepresent disclosure should not be understood as limiting of theprotection scope of the present disclosure.

Next, the operating principles of the pixel circuit in FIG. 2a will bedescribed in connection with FIG. 3 and FIG. 4. In order to facilitatethe description, it is assumed that respective switch units and drivingunits are P channel TFTs, and the energy storage unit is a capacitor.FIG. 3 is a possible time sequence diagram of scan signals on respectivescan signal lines and the data voltage Vdata within one frame when thepixel circuit shown in FIG. 2a operates, which can be divided into fourphases, as shown in FIG. 3, comprising a first phase W1 (the phase inwhich the pixel compensation module resets and the touch detectionmodule resets), a second phase W2 (the phase in which the pixelcompensation module charges and the touch detection module detects), athird phase W3 (the phase in which the pixel compensation module jumpsand the touch detection module halts), and a fourth phase W4 (the phasein which the pixel compensation module emits light and the touchdetection module halts). FIGS. 4a-4d are schematic diagrams of currentdirections and voltage values of the pixel circuit shown in FIG. 2aunder different time sequences. In the above respective phases W1-W4,the current directions and the voltage values of the pixel circuit areas shown respectively in FIG. 4a , FIG. 4b , FIG. 4c and FIG. 4 d.

In the first phase W1, referring to FIG. 3, Scan[2] at this time is at alow voltage level, other scan signal lines are at high voltage levels,and the data voltage Vdata is applied with a first voltage Vp. Referringto FIG. 4a , in the pixel compensation module 100, only T2 is turned on,now point b is reset to be grounded, and the potential of the point b is0 V, which resets the voltage signal of the last frame in the capacitorC1. In the touch detection module, T7 is turned on, and T6 and DT2 areturned off, realizing the reset of the touch detection module. Afterreset, the potential at d is Vp. As can be seen, Scan[2] is equivalentto the reset scan signal line Reset line of the pixel compensationmodule 100 and the touch detection module.

In the second phase W2, referring to FIG. 3, now Em and Scan[1] are atlow voltage levels, other scan signal lines are at high voltage levels,and the voltage Vp of Vdata remains unchanged. Referring to FIG. 4b , inthe pixel compensation module, T1, T3 and T4 are turned on, and T2 andT5 are turned off. Since point b is grounded before, the pixel drivingunit DT1 is turned on, and Vdd charges point b through T1→DT1→T4 untilpoint b is charged to Vdd−Vth1 (the potential difference between thegate and the source of DT1 is Vth1, and Vth1 is the threshold voltage ofDT1). At the same time, since T3 is turned on, Vdata charges point a ofC1 through T3, and the voltage level of point a remains Vp after thecharging is finished. Since the turning off of T5 makes the current notflow through OLED, the life loss of OLED is indirectly reduced.

In the touch detection module, referring to FIG. 4b , T7 is turned off,and T6 is turned on. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of potential changeof the pixel electrode in the pixel circuit provided in the presentdisclosure. In the second phase W2, as shown in FIG. 5, when a fingertouches, referring to the dashed line part of the figure, the potentialVd of the touch electrode d decreases (for example decreases by Vf),directly causing the gate potential of DT2 to decrease to reach theturning-on condition of DT2. Now, Vint inputs an electrical signal toY-read line through DT2 and T6. After the finger touch causes Vd todirectly decrease by Vf, Vd decreases continuously to 0 due to thedischarge of the capacitor C2. However, if there is no finger touch atthis time, referring to the solid line part, the potential Vd of thetouch electrode d will not decrease, but still remains at Vp. Now, DT2is turned off, and no electrical signal can be detected in Y-read line.

Now, if a finger touches, the potential of the touch electrode d will bedirectly caused to decrease, and the turning-on condition of DT2 isreached. At this point, the I&V characteristic curve is in theamplification region, DT2 as an amplification TFT will turn on andamplify the signal of coupling pulses, and Y-Read Line collects thesignal in the Y direction. Scan[3] as the scan signal in the X direction(row direction) also has the collection function (since the signal inthe Y direction can be collected only when Scan[3] is at a low voltagelevel, and Scan[3] in pixels of a specific row is a low voltage levelsignal at a specific time; as such, it is possible to determine whichrow Scan[3] has scanned according to the time of the collected touchsignal to further determine the coordinates of X). In such a way, the X,Y coordinates of the finger touch position are determined. Such aprocedure only needs a finger to perform touch, and the coordinateposition can be collected any time.

It can be seen that, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, Scan[3]functions as the X direction touch signal read line X-read line.

In the third phase W3, as shown in FIG. 3, only Scan[3] is at a lowvoltage level, other scan signal lines are at high voltage levels, andthe voltage applied in Vdata is raised to Vp+ΔV. As shown in FIG. 4c ,in the pixel compensation module 100, now T3 and T4 are turned on, andother TFTs are turned off. Now, the potential at point a changes fromoriginal Vp to Vp+ΔV, but point b is at a floating state. Therefore, inorder to remain the original potential difference (Vdd−Vth1−Vp) betweenpoint a and point b, the potential at point b of the gate of DT1 wouldjump by the same voltage level. The potential at point b jumps to andremains at Vdd−Vth1+ΔV to prepare for the next phase.

In the touch detection module, except T6, other devices do not operate.The touch detection module is in a halt state. In such a way, it ispossible to reduce the influence on the display procedure.

In the fourth phase W4, as shown in FIG. 3, only Scan[1] and Em are atlow voltage levels, and other scan signal lines are at high voltagelevels. As shown in FIG. 4d , in the pixel compensation module 100, nowT1 and T5 are turned on, and T2, T3 and T4 are turned off. Vdd makesOLED start to emit light through T1→DT1→T5.

In the touch detection module, all TFTs are turned off, and the touchdetection module is at a halt state, so as to reduce the effect on thedisplay procedure.

Therefore, according to the current characteristic of TFT in thesaturation region, it is possible to obtain the current flowing throughthe pixel driving unit DT1 as:I _(OLED) =K(Vgs−Vth1)² =K[Vdd−(Vdd−Vth1+ΔV)−Vth1]² =K(ΔV)².

It can be seen from the above equation that the operating current IOLEDis not affected by Vth1 now, but only related to ΔV, which solves theproblem of threshold voltage drift of the driving TFTs caused by thefabrication process and long time operation, eliminates its influence onIOLED, and ensures normal operation of OLED.

The operating principle of the pixel circuits provided in FIG. 2b andFIG. 2c is almost the same as that of the pixel circuit in FIG. 2a . Thedifference is only that, in the pixel circuit as shown in FIG. 2b orFIG. 2c , the touch signal can only be detected when Scan[1] is at a lowvoltage level (that is, in the fourth phase W4), and now Scan[1] isequivalent to X-read line; in addition, in the pixel circuit as shown inFIG. 2c , the touch detection module can only be reset when Scan[3] isat a low voltage level, and now Scan[3] instead of Scan[2] functions asReset line.

The present disclosure also provides a display panel comprising any ofthe above pixel circuits.

Alternatively, the pixel circuits are distributed periodically on thedisplay panel. In practical applications, it is not necessary for allthe positions corresponding to respective pixels to each adopt the pixelcircuit provided by embodiments of the present disclosure (for example,among three pixels, one is provided with the pixel circuit provided byembodiments of the present disclosure, and the other pixels are providedwith normal pixel circuits) to realize the detection of the touchsignal. As shown in FIG. 6, one pixel circuit (PU) provided byembodiments of the present disclosure is arranged every three pixels.

The present disclosure also provides a display apparatus comprising theabove display panel.

The display apparatus here can be any product or means with displayfunction such as an electronic paper, a cell phone, a tablet, a TV set,a display, a notebook computer, a digital photo frame, a navigator andso on.

The above descriptions are only alternative implementations of thepresent disclosure. It should be noted that those skilled in the art canmake various variations and improvements without departing from thetechnical principle of the present disclosure. These variations andimprovements are also intended to be incorporated within the protectionscope of the present disclosure.
